We speak to StarTrekPicard new recruit Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut (AshleiSC) about joining the StarTrek canon as the daughter of StarTrekTNG's Geordi La Forge in season 3:
Warning: SPOILERS for the first 2 episodes of Star Trek: Picard season 3Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut joins the action of Star Trek: Picard season 3 as Ensign Sidney La Forge, aka 'Crash La Forge,' the daughter of Star Trek: The Next Generation legend Geordi La Forge . Sidney also has a sister, Ensign Alandra La Forge , making them literally the next generation of the La Forges in Starfleet.
And I think as the season progresses, you will really get to see her stand on her own. In that first scene where you see her talking to Riker and Picard, and she's just like,"Hi, you don't remember me, but hi, I'm Sidney!" and that type of energy that she has, I really am excited for fans to see her progression throughout this.
We have to thank your mom now. That's amazing. I love that both you and your sister, Mica Burton as Alandra, honor Geordi's roles on the Enterprise. Because it's really easy to forget that Geordi was the helmsman in season one of TNG before he became Chief Engineer. If you ever get a chance to play this role again, and all three of you together, that really should happen. One of the coolest little subplots in Picard episode 2 is that Sidney has a friendship with Seven of Nine. So tell me a little bit about that relationship and also having this amazing scene with Jeri Ryan.
There's also this incredible scene, this revelation at the end of episode 2 when Beverly Crusher comes on the bridge. And she and Picard see each other for the first time. And he knows now who Jack is. Yeah. What was it like being part of that scene? Just being in that atmosphere? What's a special memory you have from working on Star Trek: Picard with those actors? Did they give you any advice? Did they take you under their wing? What was it like being with them? Because that cast is legendary. And they're also really mischievous.
Sidney is the latest female helmsman in Star Trek. There's also Melissa Navia in Strange New Worlds and Emily Coutts in Discovery. And actually, Sidney is part of another legacy because Jacqueline Kim played Sulu's daughter, the helmsman of the Enterprise-B. You should all form a helmsman club and start racing. Who'd win? I think you would, too. You also have the coolest and newest ship. But it's also not just the ship.
